The Famous Grouse Bourbon Cask is a smooth blended Scotch whisky from the Cask Series, a blend of whiskies mostly aged in American oak including bourbon casks, with layers of vanilla and caramel sweetness, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
The Famous Grouse, with its red grouse emblem, is one of Scotland's best-loved blended whiskies. The Cask Series combines the expertise of its Master of Wood and the skill of its Master Blender to explore how different casks shape the house blend.
For Bourbon Cask, the blend draws on whiskies aged in bourbon casks and other American oak casks, creating the perfect balance of smooth and sweet. The bourbon wood brings honeyed caramel and vanilla to the classic Famous Grouse character.
Expect a smooth, honeyed caramel blend with a layer of vanilla and caramel sweetness and a gentle, easy finish.
Sip it neat or over ice, mix a Scotch highball with soda or ginger ale, or use it in a smooth Rob Roy. The gift box makes it easy to give. The caramel and vanilla also pair well with apple desserts, shortbread or a cheese board, and a few drops of water bring the honeyed notes forward. It is an approachable choice for bourbon drinkers curious about Scotch, and an easy everyday blend for anyone who prefers a smooth, sweet whisky, presented in the familiar Famous Grouse bottle with its red grouse.
